Great photos and disassembly close-ups! Thanks for posting that.
BTW, it looks like ol' Sergei Simonov already had the receiver latch, bolt-handle, and some other features worked out that are common to the anti-tank rifle he designed and the later SKS carbine, no? The rest of it sure is different though...
Okay, I'm confused, why's there that notch in the side of the magazine? Is it part of the bolt-hold open mechanism, somehow involved with that sliding dustcover-ish thing on the right side?
Also, neat how it somewhat resembles the inner workings of the Vz-58, as well as lays the basis for the SKS-45 and has features of the DP-28 and SVT as well.
